We studied the associations between small mammal assemblages and patterns of land use and landscape structure, and their seasonal variations in temperate agroecosystems. We collected barn owl, Tyto alba , pellets from nest sites located in the Pampean region included in Buenos Aires province (36 sites in winter and 29 in summer). We used Google Earth and SAC-C imagery classification to describe...

Field pennycress (Thlaspi arvense L.) (PC) and winter camelina [Camelina sativa (L.) Crantz] (WC) have the potential to provide ecosystem services economic incentives when adopted as an oilseed cover crops in corn (Zea mays L.)–soybean [Glycine max Merr.] rotations. However, PC WC establishment yield northern Corn Belt their subsequent impact on row are not well known. This study was conducted ...

The protein, amino acid composition of crops used in the production of bakery products has been thoroughly studied. The protein content amounted in wheat (21%), rye (18,2%), corn (13.1 %). Higher biological value proteins differed rye that 46.7% of the essential amino acids. The range for solubility of proteins of wheat, rye and corn was set. The highest albumin content was noted in the composi...

The effects of cover crops on the biology soybean cyst nematode (SCN; Heterodera glycines) are not well established. It is possible that may reduce SCN population densities by acting as trap crops. Cover with potential to serve stimulate hatching and/or attract hatched juveniles and also be penetrated large numbers nematodes cannot feed. Experiments were conducted determine whether root exudate...

Winter rye has a high adaptive capacity to abiotic and biotic stressors compared other winter crops (wheat, triticale, barley, oats). High resistance of adverse environmental factors wide range its uses increase interest in this crop. The purpose research was evaluate the population hybrid varieties identify suitable for soil climate conditions Eastern Siberia. A number various geographical ori...

Application of over-winter green cover (e.g. cover crops) as a measure for reducing nitrate losses from tillage land has been frequently investigated, especially in the unsaturated zone. Monitoring of groundwater is less common in these studies. Studies on groundwater responses to different land treatments can be challenging because they can be influenced by various conditions, such as recharge...
